PM calls for liberating Telangana from family-rule, appeasement
Launching a scathing attack on Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS), Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday called for liberating Telangana from family rule and appeasement.
Addressing BJP leaders and workers at Begumpet Airport, he said dynastic politics and family-centric parties are the biggest enemy of democracy and youth of the country.
He appealed to people of Telangana to carry forward the movement to end the rule of family-centric parties, saying this would open the doors for rapid development of the state.
He claimed that change is certain in Telangana and that BJP will definitely come to power in the state.
He said enthusiasm of BJP workers under hot sun shows that the party’s hard work was yielding results.
“They want to make Telangana a hub of appeasement, we want to make Telangana a technology hub. They want to continue family rule, we want to take Telangana to new heights in tune with 21st century thinking and by working with the youth of Telangana,” he said without naming TRS.
He said those who conspired to divide the country and dreamt of ruling Telangana with oppression neither succeeded at the time of Independence nor will succeed now. “BJP’s fight is against these conspiracies and this thinking,” he said.
Modi said thousands of people struggled and gave sacrifice during the Telangana movement for the bright future of Telangana and not to allow one family to trample the dream of the state and destroy it with new conspiracies.
“The country has seen when a party which is dedicated to a family comes to power, corruption becomes its biggest identity. People of Telangana are watching how family-centric parties develop themselves, fill coffers of their own members and have no concern for the poor. Their politics is only to make sure that one family remains in power and continue the loot and for this they plan to divide the society. They want the society to remain backward so that they benefit out of it,” he said
Modi also alleged that the Telangana government changed the names of various Central schemes and remarked ‘You can’t erase our name from people’s heart’.
Stating that BJP is aware of potential of Telangana and its people, especially youth, he said the party wants fast pace of development in the state.
“Telangana needs a progressive and an honest government and only BJP can provide it,” he added.
Modi also targeted Chief Minister K. Chandrsekhar Rao over his alleged superstitious beliefs.
“We want to save Telangana from the superstitious people. In the 21st century, they have become slaves of blind faith and they can harm anybody,” he said.
Modi said when he was the chief minister of Gujarat, some people used to say that if the chief minister visits a particular city, he will lose power. “I used to go there repeatedly because I believe in science and technology,” he said.
He also congratulated Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath for rejecting the superstitious beliefs.
He recalled that in 2013, Hyderabad had scripted history and changed the thinking of the entire India when people of Telangana bought tickets to attend a public meeting and hear him.
Stating that it was the turning point in serving the people of the country, he exuded confidence that people of Telangana will again make history by bringing BJP to power in the state.

Aaditya Thackeray Elected Shiv Sena UBT Legislature Party Leader, Sunil Prabhu Named Chief Whip
Mumbai, November 25: Former Maharashtra minister Aaditya Thackeray was on Monday elected the Shiv Sena (UBT) legislature party leader at a meeting of the party legislators in Mumbai.
Aaditya, son of party president Uddhav Thackeray, defeated Milind Deora of the Eknath Shinde-led Shiv Sena in the recent assembly elections from Worli constituency by 8,801 votes.
His winning margin dipped compared to the last elections in 2019, where it was 67,427 votes.
Senior party leader Ambadas Danve told reporters after the meeting of party legislators that former minister Bhaskar Jadhav was elected the party group leader in the state assembly, while Sunil Prabhu was named the party’s chief whip.

The Election Commission Should Take Immediate Action Against IPS Officer Rashmi Shukla: Atul Londhe
Mumbai, November 25: IPS officer Rashmi Shukla violated the Model Code of Conduct by meeting Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis while the code of conduct was still in force. The Election Commission must take this matter seriously and initiate immediate action against Rashmi Shukla, demanded Atul Londhe, Chief Spokesperson of the Maharashtra Pradesh Congress Committee.
Commenting on the issue, Atul Londhe said that in Telangana, the Election Commission had promptly acted against a Director General of Police and another senior official for meeting a senior minister during elections. “Why does the Election Commission act swiftly in non-BJP-ruled states but fail to notice such violations in BJP-ruled states?” he questioned.
Rashmi Shukla faces serious allegations, including phone tapping of opposition leaders. The Congress had earlier demanded her removal from the post of Director General of Police during the election period, and she was subsequently removed. However, despite the declaration of assembly results, Rashmi Shukla met the Home Minister before the Model Code of Conduct officially ended, violating its norms. Londhe insisted that immediate action should be taken against her.

‘I Haven’t Resigned Yet,’ Says Maharashtra Congress Chief Nana Patole Amid Rumours Of Quitting Post After Poll Debacle
Maharashtra Congress president and newly elected MLA from the Sakoli Assembly seat, Nana Patole, denied media reports about his resignation from the post of party chief in the state.
Speaking to the media, Patole said, “I am going to meet Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge. I have not submitted my resignation.”
Earlier it was reported that after the crushing defeat of the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) in the recent Maharashtra Assembly elections, Nana Patole offered to resign as Congress state president, taking moral responsibility for the loss. However, conflicting reports claim that Patole has not yet made a final decision, and there has been no confirmation from him or the party regarding his resignation.
The ruling Mahayuti coalition secured a resounding victory, winning 235 seats with 49.6% of the vote share, while the MVA lagged far behind with just 49 seats and 35.3% of the votes. The Congress, in particular, suffered a major setback, winning only 16 of the 103 seats it contested.
Patole, who contested from the Sakoli seat, narrowly retained his position with a margin of just 208 votes—the smallest margin of his political career. This is a sharp contrast to his 2019 Assembly election performance, where he won the same seat by nearly 8,000 votes. His narrow victory this year ranks among the closest contests in the state.
Patole reportedly sought to meet Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge and Rahul Gandhi on Monday to discuss his resignation but was unable to do so. The party high command has not yet acted on his reported resignation.
